On Saturday 1 November, from 5-10.30pm, the skies above South East London will light up as Blackheath Fireworks puts on one of the capital’s most spectacular displays. On the ground below, stars of a different kind are also lining up to delight crowds, as UK TikTok sensations SpudBros debut their brand-new food truck – complete with Baked Potato DJ Booth – as part of Blackheath Fireworks’ hotly anticipated Food Village.
With almost 5 million followers on TikTok alone, social media superstars SpudBros are officially the UK’s most popular food creators.

While SpudBros’ van-based antics and legendary toppings are sure to be the talk of the town, there’s lots more on offer to hungry Londoners looking to make a night of it. The Duck Shed bring their A-game with deliciously dripping burgers and tightly packed wraps, Caribbean Jerk add explosive spice and flavour, while Daddy Mac, C’est Cheese and the Great British Toastie come in thick and heavy, all three indulging London’s obsession with the cheesy good stuff.
Jou Jou’s Bites represent Taiwan, BEYRoots celebrate the tastes of Lebanon and BBQ Dept’s stacked buns defy gravity. Nanny Bill’s and Naked Chips dish up festival-approved burgers and fries respectively, while handmade pizzas are on hand thanks to the Dough Lads and Fire & Flour.
